This page from the 1979 Air Apache Journal documents the third reunion of the 345th Bombardment Group Association, veterans of the WWII 'Air Apaches' who flew B-25 Mitchell medium bombers in the Southwest Pacific campaign, including operations from Ie Shima. Gatherings like this Colorado Springs reunion -- complete with a general's reception, an Officers' Club banquet, and presentation of hand-built scale model B-25s -- reflect the enduring camaraderie of WWII airmen decades after the war's end, and the role veterans' publications played in preserving unit history and personal bonds.
